Answer:

Angle E equals 45 degrees and angle J equals 35 degrees.

If all angles of two triangles match up with one another, then you have yourself a pair of two similar triangles.

Hope it helps, have a fantastic day.

Explanation:

We all know from geometry that all the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

We can form the following equation:


100 + 35 + E = 180


E here represents the measure of angle E.

Add together like terms:


135 +E = 180

Then subtract 135 from both sides:


E = 45

We can, likewise, form another equation for angle J :


100 + 45 + J = 180

Add together like terms:


145 +J = 180

Then subtract 145 from both sides:


J = 35

Angle E equals 45 degrees and angle J equals 35 degrees.

If all angles of two triangles match up with one another, then you have yourself a pair of two similar triangles.
